The Software versions are fully scalable with easy upgrading from one version to another.
Business Continuity information
The Business Continuity information is intended to provide a basic starting point for introducing Business Continuity concepts within the User’s organization. The Business Continuity information system would suit small organizations with minimal manpower resources with a focus on process resilience and crisis response rather than people crisis management or could suit larger organizations who are new to business continuity planning. Details and descriptions are kept to the bare minimum. The Business Continuity information includes a practical response to BCMS management requirements; mapping organizational components together; risk analysis, dependency and BIA features; resilience status and effectiveness; and incident response handling. Additional functions in this version include the ability to record and report on descriptive details for all main organizational components; contact data for employees and other stakeholders; communication planning and alternate asset & resource planning.
Business
Continuity Gold
The business continuity Gold provides an extremely comprehensive solution to the development of an organization’s Business Continuity management system. Adds a significant array of additional functionality to the Business Continuity information. This is the ideal system for BC / DR professionals; for organizations who intend to achieve excellence or best practise; or for persons assigned with responsibility for business continuity who require quality software with extremely flexible functionality. The business continuity Gold includes all the functionality from the Silver version plus BCMS budget handling; BCMS resource team management; BCMS meetings and interview handling; setting up risk treatment enhancements; and a fully functional command center.
Business Continuity information
The Business Continuity information is the ideal tool for managing business continuity requirements for multiple clients. A clever re-linking control panel allows the User to move from one client’s data to another client’s data with ease. An unlimited number of clients may be handled from within one license.
